Bourron Castle is located in the commune of Bourron-Marlotte, in the department of Seine-et-Marne, 8 km south of Fontainebleau.
This is the seat of a lordship mentioned in the 12th century to the west of the current town.
In the 14th century, records describe a fortress surrounded by walls and ditches.
Several noble families succeeded one another as owners of the place over the centuries, and Olivier de Sallard, falconer to Louis XI, was the lord of Bourron at the very beginning of the 16th century.
It was in the 17th century that the current castle was built on the foundations of the feudal building. It features a classic brick and stone style, reminiscent of the Château de Fontainebleau. The whole is composed of a three-level dwelling with lateral wings set at right angles. Two pavilions also flank the house.
Inside, period woodwork has been preserved.
The estate also includes a 40-hectare park dotted with lawns and wooded plots. A source feeds a canal there. Redesigned several times, the gardens include a French-style space with pruned boxwood and yew trees and flowered squares.
Today, the castle listed in the Inventory has been carefully restored and includes beautifully crafted annexes (farm, chapel). It hosts receptions and houses a charming hotel whose rooms are carefully furnished, dedicated to historical figures, some linked to the history of the place.
